Mission: Seduce the Master!

Yu Yang looked at her mistress's body with embarrassment. On the one hand, she was glad that she was okay, but on the other hand...

"How amazing, your body does look much better," Yu Yang said, examining Xie Meiling's body. She had long removed the poison and other fluids to prevent infection and had cleaned the room using special protection.

Carefully examining Xie Meiling's body, she could see the difference. The places that Xie Qing had not touched were still covered in scars, and in these places, Xie Meiling felt bad, but her back was light.

The contrast between these two sides was too strong. Moreover, the ointment still needed to be applied for six days to fully heal the body. This was good news, but...

"M-mistress, are you ready for this?" Yu Yang asked with embarrassment on her face.

"What can I do? To effectively apply the ointment to the body, you need Qi, and you can't exhaust yourself, or your wounds will get worse," Xie Meiling said with bitterness in her voice, covering her face, which had turned red with embarrassment: "Although I'm embarrassed to show my body to my son, I think there's nothing wrong with it."

"...I wouldn't be so sure," Yu Yang replied, making Xie Meiling fall silent.

Even if they were mother and son, they were still a man and a woman. Showing her skin and allowing herself to be touched was too embarrassing. And the fact that it was her son only increased Xie Meiling's embarrassment and another strange feeling.

However, for the sake of treatment, she could allow this to happen. According to Xie Qing's explanation, the ointment needed to be applied with Qi to fully cover all the wounds and successfully enter the body, enhancing regeneration.

Considering Xie Qing's level, this was not too difficult, but Yu Yang could not repeat it because her Golden Core was also slightly damaged.

Therefore, they had to put up with it.

"But... I haven't seen my skin this healthy in a long time," Xie Meiling said with a smile, examining her hands, which had returned to their normal state, even looking better.

She was very pleased. For a woman, beauty was an important part of her image, and she was very proud of her appearance. Gradually, she regained her natural beauty.

Realizing this, Xie Meiling was very happy. She felt grateful to the heavens and to her son, who was able to obtain something so good.

"My son is amazing. Everyone took him for a harmless lamb, but he turned out to be a dragon soaring among the clouds. Even that bastard Xie Hai and Xie Hui are no match for him," Xie Meiling thought and giggled.

Meanwhile, Xie Qing had finished bathing, getting rid of the poison in his body. He took care to make sure that the poison was gone forever, destroying it with his Qi.

After getting rid of the poison, he came out of the bathroom and raised his eyebrows, seeing a woman in front of him.

"Yu Yang."

"Young master," Yu Yang nodded without emotion and adjusted her glasses, saying: "Can I help you get dressed?"

"Hm? I think I can myself... although, I won't refuse. It's been a long time since your gentle hands touched me," the young man said with a smile.

"As you wish."

Yu Yang nodded briefly and took a clean white hanfu, helping Xie Qing get dressed. Soon, she tied his long hair into a ponytail on the back of his head. He looked excellent.

"You look great, young master," Yu Yang said with a stern face, but her eyes sparkled, and her heart beat faster. She could not believe that the boy from the past had become so... magnificent.

Well, I don't think I need to explain which part of his body was magnificent.

In any case, after getting dressed, Yu Yang and Xie Qing went downstairs to have dinner. Xie Meiling was already asleep; she was exhausted, and sleep would help her recover faster.

Dinner was not too lavish, as Xie Qing was used to – rice and pieces of pork in spicy sauce. However, he did not complain and ate with appetite.

Although he could not eat for a month at his current level of cultivation, food was something that helped him maintain his connection with the mortal world. And besides, as long as it was tasty, Xie Qing would happily eat it.

Yu Yang's cooking was good. It even surpassed the head chef who worked in the Xie family's mansion. However, due to limited financial resources, they had to save money.

Xie Qing took out 350,000 Huang and handed it to Yu Yang.

"This is a small amount of money, but at least it will help provide us with good food. I don't need to eat. Spend part of it on yourself, and save the other part for nutritious substances for mom."

Xie Qing began to explain which herbs and which fruits and vegetables needed to be bought. He had studied the books a little and saw a recipe for medicinal soup.

After studying the list, Yu Yang was able to roughly understand that most of the funds Xie Qing had given her would have to be spent, as all these products were expensive. However, she did not hesitate and nodded.

"Alright. I'll go buy these products tomorrow morning."

"No need. I'll buy them myself; I'll also be able to visit an acquaintance."

"Eh..."

Yu Yang wanted to refuse, but seeing that Xie Qing was serious, she could only sigh and agree.

The next morning, Xie Qing went shopping. It was six o'clock in the morning, the beginning of the working day. With the help of passersby, he found the right store and began to buy products for the medicinal soup.

In the end, all this cost him 25,000 Huang. With six more servings, it would be quite a lot, but for his mother, he was willing to make such expenses.

After finishing the shopping, he put everything in the spatial ring. Then his eyes gleamed coldly. It was time for revenge.

***

In a small, dilapidated bar sat a man. His name was Du Bai. If he had a brother, he would be called Shang Hai.

He was bald, his eyes were dull brown, his skin was pale as a corpse's, and next to his eye was a hook-shaped tattoo.

His nickname was 'Bloody Blade,' a famous mercenary of the dark market. His name had become a byword, and this man was quite well-known.

Du Bai was hired by the Xie family about ten years ago. At first, he acts as an ordinary protector, but Xie Hui pays him extra, and he agreed to kill Xie Meiling but fails.

In the end, to avoid a bad reputation, he decided to follow this woman and make sure she was dead. The trail led him to the capital, and then there was silence.

Only the heavens knew how many hours, days, and months he spent searching, but the result was only silence and several fake pieces of evidence.

Today was no different from other days. He was drinking in a bar, and at night, he was looking for Xie Meiling. His mood was gloomy.

"This bitch... where is she hiding? If I can't kill her, I'll lose the fee, and I'll have to pay a fine," Du Bai thought, gritting his teeth.

The past few years had been a stain on his reputation. Despite trying to strive and show results, it was all in vain.

"By the way," he thought suddenly, looking around: "Why is the bar empty today? That's unusual. Even in the morning, there's a crowd of gawkers here."

Du Bai felt a strange premonition. He got up from the bar and handed the money to the bartender, who raised his head and dazzlingly smiled.

"Thank you for your visit~."

"Hm? Are you a newbie?" Du Bai was surprised, to see that the bartender had been replaced. He narrowed his eyes, feeling his sixth sense tremble, announcing danger: "Where's De Yan?"

"Heh? That bartender guy? Well, how shall I put it…" the stranger muttered in surprise, rubbing his lips. Then he said with a bright smile: "I remembered! I just killed him an hour ago!"

"!!!"

Du Bai looked astonished at the bartender, and then he quickly jumped back.

Bam!

In the place where Du Bai was before, a cut appeared, which cut through the earth for two meters. The floor, the bar, the chairs, and the like were cut. It was a perfect cut.

Du Bai's heart darkened. He could not believe what he saw in front of him. An overwhelming amount of Sword Aura created a real visual effect, turning into a dark silver flame.

This meant that in front of him was not an ordinary swordsman… this was a Sword Master!

Who are the Sword Masters? No, no, these are not the guys who are stuck in the game. They were powerful Dao Sword cultivators who were maximally close to the sword.

They were strong and dangerous opponents. Du Bai did not dare to treat the enemy carelessly and immediately used a body enhancement technique.

Of course, the man who attacked Du Bai was Xie Qing. He did not waste time and was able to disguise himself as a bartender, and then with the help of gentle words, he convinced the bar owner to help him with one task.

He did not kill the previous bartender; he just knocked him out. These words were said only to intimidate Du Bai.

Looking at the man in front of him, Xie Qing narrowed his eyes, and a chill emanated from him. Meeting his enemy, he could not help but feel anger. However, he restrained himself from quickly killing his opponent.

Du Bai began to attack. He was a cultivator who had tempered his body. With agile movements, Xie Qing disarmed him and then grabbed his arm and pulled him towards him.

The result was immediate.

"AAAAAAAA!"

A scream filled with pain and suffering. Xie Qing predatorily smiled, looking at Du Bai, who was suffering from pain. His arm was bent at a strange angle, and the wound was covered with a thick layer of Qi Aura, which prevented regeneration.

Then, step by step, Xie Qing began to torture him. Du Bai's body was securely attached to the floor.

Next was a description of an extremely cruel scene, but we will not describe it in detail. In the end, Du Bai began to resemble a crumpled piece of flesh.

Seeing his pitiful state and feeling how the life of this trash was fading, Xie Qing coldly smiled and then burned him alive. There were no screams; Xie Qing took care to cut the vocal cords.

Soon the flame completely engulfed Du Bai's body, turning him into ashes. Watching this, Xie Qing's heart was filled with a pleasant feeling.

"You will be the first step," he muttered, smiling brightly.

Revenge was sweet.

Xie Qing cleaned his clothes of dirt and blood and then returned home. The frightened bar owner did not dare to say anything or report it to the guards. He knew that this cultivator would kill him as soon as it became known.

Moreover, an unknown man had died, so the bar owner was calm. He escorted Xie Qing with a look, mentally praying to the heavens that he would not return.

***

Xie Qing returned home and saw that Yu Yang was in the kitchen. She turned around and nodded.

"Good morning, Yu Yang," Xie Qing said, taking out the products for the medicinal soup from the spatial ring: "This will be enough for three servings. Mom needs to take it in the morning, noon, and evening without fail."

"Alright, young master. I was just about to make breakfast. Would you like to have breakfast?"

"No, I'll pass," Xie Qing refused, shrugging: "You'd better eat more often. You've become too thin since our last meeting. This won't do."

Yu Yang smiled silently, not paying attention to Xie Qing, who was looking at her with a somewhat lustful gaze. She even shook her butt, increasing the temperature in the room.

However, Xie Qing restrained himself and did not attack her, as the situation did not allow it. He went up to his mother's room. Xie Meiling was half-lying, leaning against the bed's headboard. She was holding a book in her hand.

Hearing the sound of Xie Qing's footsteps, she tore herself away from the book and smiled at him, waving her hand.

"Yo."

"...where did you learn to talk like that?" Xie Qing smiled.

"In this book, teenagers greet each other like this. I thought it was normal," Xie Meiling replied casually.

Xie Qing laughed, shaking his head. His mother, who always had elegant manners, used such informal speech. This was something new for him.

However, their conversation did not last long. Xie Qing asked Xie Meiling to undress.

"Here comes that moment," Xie Meiling thought, heavily sighing.

Her fingers touched the hem of the shirt she was wearing, and swallowing, she began to pull it up.

Immediately, bare skin was exposed. Xie Meiling was not wearing a bra because it could only harm her.

Xie Qing saw D-cup size breasts and red nipples presented to the light. Xie Qing did not stare for long, although his gaze, unbeknownst to himself, sometimes returned to her breasts.

Thanks to the fact that he had sufficient self-control, the young man soon came to his senses and, ignoring his mother's embarrassed gaze, applied ointment to his finger and began to heal the small scars.

"Mm-m..."

The young man fell silent when he heard a gentle moan next to his ear and the heavy breathing of Xie Meiling.

"I don't even know how to react."
